Today’s Astronomical Events – July 16th, 2015

Mercury is at perihelion today, meaning that its at its closest point to the Sun. Meanwhile, closer to home, the Moon turns new; in the image above, you can see the positions of the inner planets and the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. (The sizes of the planets and the distance of the Moon from the Earth are not to scale and have been exaggerated for the purposes of illustration.)
